Well, the EU has a new problem with their money (in addition to the fact that it looks like it belongs in a Monopoly game): Due to the use of two metals in the 1€ and 2€ coins, nickel is being released when the coins come in contact with someone's sweaty palm. It's causing problems for people who're allergic to nickel.
I bet the Brits feel really smart right about now.
